Abstract : Inflammatory myopathies are acquired diseases characterized by motor deficit involving an autoimmune myopathy.They are responsible for impairing disability and may be associated with life-threatening complications.Treatment, when they exist, based on the use of corticosteroids in high doses and for long periods.However, 60 % of patients relapse and 20-30 % are readily corticosteroid.Other immunosuppressive treatments are then required methotrexate , azathioprime , cyclosporine.The side effects of these treatments are inevitable and sometimes severe, which is why the development of new approaches treatment is essential. To test these new approaches, the laboratory developed a mouse model of Experimental Autoimmune Myositis with same Clinical and histological characteristics to polymyositis.In this model we tested the effect of a sub-population of T lymphocyte, nammed regulatory T cells, plays a crucial role in peripheral tolerance self-antigens. In order to control autoimmune manifestations that can replicate the mechanisms of action of Tregs , we sought to amplify in vivo, pharmacologically.At first, we observed the beneficial effect of rapamycin on our model, notably with increase of Tregs.In a second step, we have shown the beneficial role IVIg in the same model in curative.Finally, we investigated the effect of arsenic trioxide Trisenox in this animal model.Thus, all these data provide insight into the pathophysiology of myositis and to develop a clinical trial with rapamycin .
